The Slave Democracy bare told the people, so often and so eloquently, about their great regard for white men. and declaim ed so loodljr against negro equality, that one would snppose they would work with might and main for the interests of white men only. Tarticulajly were they noisy about the rights of white men, during the canvass for Delegates to the Constitu tional Convention. Now, what have thy done ? In the Elective Franchise Article of the Constitution, the Republicans placed the word uhtis, thus conferring the right of suffrage upon white men alone, and giving the lie to the charge of negro equality. This completely knocked the pins from under the Slavers it robbed them of a vast amount of capital and gammon. Now, after the while article was adopted, what did they do ? They endeavored to have it reconsidered, in order to confer the right of suffr...

Slje Kansas l)icf. SOL. MILLER, EDITOR. WHITE CLOUD, KANSAS : Tkirsday, : : : : August I, 1859. The Apportionment. The Constitutional Convention has doubtless adjonrned ere this, after hav ins, so far as we have seen or heard, fra med an instrument excellent in its general features ; but it is to be regretted that so good an instrument should bo marred by foul blotch, in the shape of an infamous apportionment, f We are surprised that the Republicans, alter all their proles- sions of fair dealing, and after their grie vous complaints of oppression and dis franchisement, should now, in the day of their power, resort to unfairness equal, if not greater, than any practiced by the Border Ruffians. The apportionment in the Lecompton Constitution was fair and honorable in comparison with this. To be sure, it does not directly disfranchise bo many Counties as the apportionment made by the last Pro-Slavery Legislature did, but it virtually amounts to the same thing. This apportionment, in al...

Stye Kansas l)icf. SOL. MILLER, EDITOR. WHITE CLOUD, KAUSAS: Thursday, Aigast 11, ISjO. Opposition to the Constitution. It is now pretty well settled that the Democrats, u a party, will oppose the tha Constitution. The in strument is an excellont one, the only ob ioctionable feature of any consequence be ing llie apportionment But that will not last long, as the first Legislature is required lo make a new one; and they will not have the power to Gerrymander, for the Constitution prescribes single Dis tricts, and roquircs that each County now organized shall have at least one Repre sentative. The Democrats in the Legislature, last Winter, were anxious for a Constitution al Convention ; tho Governor was keen for it ; and the party made a hard fight for Delegates. The first damper upon their ardor was their failure to obtain majority of the Delegates, as they had cs peeled to do. They then tried to bribe the Eepublican Delegates, but again fail ed. Their last resort was to attempt to b...

1 "f j Ik ttrc Jfarmcr. Whitewashing. There are few things that effect a gicat 'or amount of possible goo.?, proWuiy, than whitewash. Applied on the ceiling and iusiJo walls of dwelling ami oul bouses, it tends to purify the atmosfTTicre by neutralizing or destroying those nox ious effluvia, tvliich are always more or loss cxteusivly engendered in confincJ situations, and which are oft no delete rious to animal health. Applied to the roofs and walls of barns sheds, and other buildings, it is a great promoter of dura bility, and add also not a little to the neatness and beauty of their appearance. It is cheap and any one who can "black limo," dissolve salt, and nsc a whitewash Lrusll not a very difficult task, certain ly can apply it successfully and in a way to endure for years, unimpaired. It is an excellent plan in mixing whitwash, to add as much salt as the water repaired to re drtce the lime to the requihile consistency, Vill dissolve. This renders it more dura ble, and adds not...

It may be some consola tion to tbe News, to learn that the Re publicans north of tbe Kansas River have yet a little principle left the smallest mile in Ibe world and that Southern Nebraska has not been annexed. We do think that certain politicians and presses in Southern Kansas run the businesss completely into the ground, of whining over their wrongs. If n ap portionment is made, we bear that South ern Kansas is betrayed, trampled upon, and disfranchised. When a delegate to Congress is to be chosen, we are again gre...

Jfor Jarmer. Preparing Land for Wheat. The very careless an! slovenl j manner in which lanJ is freqnently iircpareil for wbcat, ami in which the wheat is put in, is one principal reason why we hare o many bad crops of wheat, or why this crop is not as good as it ooght to he. In order to produce a good wheat crop, land ehonld be as well prepared as for any other crop. In fact, every farmer in the land should prepare his land well for every crop bo puts in, and, even if he have to cultivate less by it ; and he will generally find that he will make more with less la bor, if his snbseqncnt cultivation is what it ought to be, in crops where afier-cul- tivation U required. But this kind of cultivation not being required in wheat, " the success of the crop must mainly de pend on the manner in which it is put in. Ilence the importance of this. wheat we know, will generally come much better after tobacco than any other crop. The reason, by many, is thought to be that the tobacco enriches the...
